Brown Bohemians : honoring the light and magic of our creative community / by Vernon, Vanessa,author.; Ashley, Morgan,author.; Pruitt, Wendy,author.;
Brown Bo'hemians captures the essence and voice of an underrepresented demographic: creative people of color. Influenced by a deeply held belief that stories sculpt our collective narrative, a group of authors and artists came together to create this first-of-its-kind collection. Inspired by their unique tastes and experiences in fashion, lifestyle, and art, Brown Bo'hemians brings a vital and virtual movement, born on social media, to life and into print. People of color are the originators of all things, yet are all too often overlooked. Each of our stories is unique, but collectively they contribute to the rebuilding of community, and counter hundreds of years of colonialism, narrow minded and harmful media representation, non-inclusive and conformist beauty standards, and a systemic, historical lack of recognition for our contributions. Brown Bo'hemians reclaims a small piece of a space that has always been rightfully ours. Created to recognize and elevate the underrepresented and the undervalued, Brown Bo'hemians is food for the creative spirit that most needs it: you.

Unsettled visions : contemporary Asian American artists and the social imaginary / by Machida, Margo,author.(CARDINAL)279815; Duke University Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)290492;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 321-351) and index."In Unsettled Visions the activist, curator, and scholar Margo Machida presents a pioneering, in-depth exploration of contemporary Asian American visual art. Machida focuses on works produced during the watershed 1990s, when surging Asian immigration had significantly altered the demographic, cultural, and political contours of Asian America, and a renaissance in Asian American art and visual culture was well underway. Machida conducted extensive interviews with ten artists working during this transformative period: women and men of Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese descent, most of whom migrated to the United States. In dialogue with the artists, Machida illuminates and contextualizes the origins and intent behind bodies of their work. Analyses of the work of individual artists are grouped around three of the major themes that Asian American artists engaged with during the 1990s: representations of the other; social memory and trauma; and migration, diaspora, and a sense of place."--Jacket.

Tracks and tracking : the classic guide to seeing and reading animal signs / by Brunner, Josef,author.(CARDINAL)742235;
The most comprehensive guide to reading the signs and tracks of dozens of animals! "To derive the greatest pleasure from the pursuit of game," Brunner writes in the foreword to this classic hunting guide, "it is necessary to be versed in the science of interpreting the meaning of tracks and trails." With these words, the author begins his comprehensive survey of how to track and read animal signs. To the author-and hunter-this is not simply a matter of skill, but one of honor. A sportsman should consider it a sacred duty to acquire a working knowledge of tracks, trails, and signs. The contents of this book represent the experience gained by the author from twenty years of uninterrupted life in the great outdoors. Included in this book are chapters on hunting on a wide variety of animals, such as: * White-tailed deer * Moose * Bears * Bobcats * Wolves * Cottontail rabbits * Otters * Badgers * Porcupine * Feathered game * Upland birds * Predatory birds * And many more! Last published in 1922, Tracks and Tracking is an invaluable resource for hunters of every stripe. Complete with hundreds of detailed illustrations, this book will help anyone looking to increase their ability to read signs and trails and become as well versed in tracking as the author could with years of experience in the woods.

Ascomycete fungi of North America : a mushroom reference guide / by Beug, Michael W.,1944-(CARDINAL)783999; Bessette, Alan E.(CARDINAL)319398; Bessette, Arleen R.(CARDINAL)332927;
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.Introduction : Ascomycota -- The ascomycetes -- Key to included ascomycetes : Using the keys to included ascomycetes ; Picture key to the major types of included ascomycetes -- Hypogeous ascomycetes : The truffles ; Key to the hypogeous ascomycete genera -- Pezizomycetes -- Sordariomycetes -- Leotiomycetes -- Eurotiomycetes -- Geoglossaceae -- Neolectomycetes -- Orbiliomycetes -- Dothideomycetes -- Taphrinomycotina.Filling the gap between technical publications and the limited representation of Ascomycetes in general mushroom field guides, Ascomycete Fungi of North America is a scientifically accurate work dedicated to this significant group of fungi. Because it is impossible to describe and illustrate the tens of thousands of species that occur in North America, the authors focus on species found in the continental United States and Canada that are large enough to be readily noticeable to mycologists, naturalists, photographers, and mushroom hunters. They provide 843 color photographs and more than 600 described species, many of which are illustrated in color for the first time. While emphasizing macroscopic field identification characteristics for a general audience, the authors also include microscopic and other advanced information useful to students and professional mycologists. In addition, a color key to the species described in this book offers a visual guide to assist in the identification process--COVER.

This volume examines how the French Empire encouraged a vibrant and engaging material culture--from commercial as well as political sources--to normalize its colonial project and racialized ideas of life in the empire. Drawing from documents and media held in the Getty Research Institute's ACHAC collections, Visualizing Empire analyzes aspects of colonialism manifest in the art, popular literature, games, maps, films, and exhibitions that represented, celebrated, or were created for France's colonies across the seas."--back cover."The essays in this book analyze aspects of colonialism through investigations into the art, popular literature, material culture, film, and exhibitions that represented, celebrated, or were created for France's colonies across the seas.

Library teen advisory groups : VOYA guides, book 2 / by Tuccillo, Diane P.,1952-(CARDINAL)466646;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 155-158) and index.Why teen advisory boards? -- Funding options for your teen library advisory program -- Ready, set--get started! -- Libraries are not boring : activities, events, and projects that make a difference with teens -- Teen representation on adult library boards and other community boards -- The perks of being a teen library advisory board member -- These groups work! -- Schools can have advisory groups, too!"Although teen advisory groups flourish in many libraries, no how-to guide has ever been published for the librarians who run them. At last, the activities and policies of actual groups in school and public libraries - a teen advisory board (TAB) or young adult advisory council (YAAC) or even "YaYas" - are described in detail by the advisor of one of the longest-running teen advisory groups in the United States, the twenty-seven-year-old YAAC at City of Mesa Library in Arizona. Diane Tuccillo covers the wide landscape of teen advisory groups from funding to bylaws, starting a new group to rejuvenating an old one, classic projects to unique roles, and community involvement to voting on adult library boards. Vivid profiles of successful teen groups, organized in public and school library sections, tell each group's story, along with teen feedback. Sample mission statements, applications, membership cards, parent permission forms, publicity flyers, and newsletters can be borrowed or adapted." "Library directors, school administrators, library educators, and librarians who work directly with teens in school and public libraries will be unable to resist such compelling testaments to the value of library teen advisory groups."--BOOK JACKET.
